African Mahogany and gun blue'd steel beauty. Every detail was thought through and refined. Every curve hand bent and hand carved (no CNC'd parts here). We even had the ceiling edge on the lower level stepped & scalloped to mirror the beautiful underside of the treads.

The back porch originally had a flat ceiling. The owner requested it be vaulted showing the rafters above. Once opened, it was determined that the rafters had irregular spacing and were not attractive. Mike's solution was to reinforce the rafters and install 1x6 V-groove siding. To get the intended look 2x3 false rafters were screwed to the underside of the ceiling.

By raising the Gable roof the view no longer included the underside of the roof but extended fully out to the lake. Lots of open exterior space as well as screened in porch with fireplace creating an intimate seating area.

The stone wall was created to hide the underside of the deck and to provide architectural interest and two tiers of plantings. Susan Olinger, Sterling Horticultural Services

Nautically inspired stair and rail with Brazilian Teak (Cumaru) treads/ poplar risers and stringers. Stair has underside wood panels, custom wave side brackets and nickel powder coated wave balusters and newel posts.

The underside of the arbor shows the rich natural color. It has held well after three years whereas the top roof which was constantly exposed to the sun and needs re-oiling to regain the same rich color. Notice the beauty of the underside of the roof. Our company always likes to show the exposed carpentry of our projects. When done well the carpentry makes the project interesting and elegant. Only an excellent design and an expert craftsman can make the inside and the outside construction artistic. Photo credits: Dan Drobnick
